It is a sign for me that the forum goes from strength to strength and I believe it is playing a key role in the relations between our two countries as confirmed by the Prime Minister in our call on him this morning. This year, we have taken the theme "The Challenge of Globalization" for our meetings and discussions. This theme has a particular resonance for me.

这是一个迹象，表明我们的论坛越来越强大。我相信，论坛在我们两国关系中扮演着一个关键的角色。今早，首相在我们拜访他时就确认了这一点。今年，我们选择的主题是“全球化的挑战”，我们将就此进行会谈和讨论。对于这个主题，我尤其有感触。
